1t will be noticed that the average number
of eggs laid per hen per year ranges from
three dozen to over seven dozen amt that
those stat that reported the largest numoer
of hens did not make the most money because,
as the figures show, they only got sn average
of four or five dozen eggs per hen per wear
while the New England States show an aver
age of from six to over seven dozen. The
question arises then why do hens in the New
England States average more than seven doZ-
en- eggs per year per hen, when in Louisiana
thew only average three dozen The reason
must be found 10 the fact that in the New Eng
land States Sheridsn's Powder to make hen
Law is more universally used, while in the
West and South, it is not used much Louis
lana has not gone behind but the Northern
States have gone ahead There is no doubt
at all but that the extensive use of Sheridan g
Powder to Make Hens Lay, and for the i'm
provement of poultry, has boosted the poultry
industry more than all the other Influences
put together. The poultry industry of this
country now amounts to between five and six
hundred millions of dollars annually and the
profits are said to be enormous. Ono man in
Mass. near Boston has made twenty thousand
dollars a year for the last five years and many
more have made from five hundred to a

THE Women's Industrial exchange OF
Pittsburg, like its Lancaster prototype, has
good reason to congratulate itself on the re.
suits of its first years WORK. The first nine
months work exceeded that Of the New York
woman's exchange for the entire first year
and the latter has heretofore been considered
one of the most successful exchanges ever
organized. The superintendent Of the ex.
change has paid out during the year over
81, 900 to consignors, Of whom there are 1000
or more registered on the books 1t addition
TO this, light employment has been secured
for large number OF women and girls, who
would have been practically helpless without
the aid Of the exchange. Work has been
taken from consignors outside OF the city, In
most Of the towns OF Western Pennsylvsnit
and few places in New York state. The ex
change now occupies six large rooms while 4
only had two during most OF the past year
Two of the present apartments are used fol
storing and displaying the articles consigned
two for dining room and kitchen and two
for toilet and reception rooms so much FOL

This Is ArbOr lDay.

The weather god must have taken Gov.
ern0r Beaver into his confidence when the
latter fixed upon to-day for Arbor Day. 1t
IL all that could be desired for tree plant
ing the air is balmy, the sky bright with
sunshine, and the ground in proper condi.
ti0n for being worked.
No one, therefore, has good excuse for
refraining from tree planting to-day. The
farmer should plant because on almost
every farm there are waste places where
trees might be earning dollars for their
owners, growing by the brook, or river, or
on the hill sides and overhanging cliffs,
too steep for cultivation. In every private
yard there ought to be a sufliciency of
shade and fruit trees, and il they are not
there now, today would be good time to
make start to secure them.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives a list of
varieties Of trees suitable to this climate,
which list includes many varieties of
naples, birches, hickories, chestnuts, ashes
and beeches, poplars, oaks, locust, willow
o1ns and grades of coniferous trees. Ii
Z til non.fruit- bearing variety there is large
yAnge for everybody to select from /; whil'
~ names of those that bear fruit ant
YAlch thrive in this cline is legion.
q The young should plant, for they will ir
